Did you know that the most critical day for an air conditioning system is the day it’s installed?
Modern HVAC systems are more efficient, but also more sensitive. The latest generation of air conditioners struggles with existing ductwork issues (air distribution problems). Simply replacing the “box” doesn’t guarantee a solution. We frequently hear from new customers whose newly installed systems perform worse than their old ones.
We’ve found that homes built before 2015 are more likely to have undersized and improperly designed duct systems.
HVAC regulations are constantly evolving, now requiring proper airflow and sealed ductwork.
Consistent technician training, adhering to manufacturer specifications, ensures a system lifespan of at least 10 years.
A trustworthy company will dedicate over an hour to measuring and testing the existing equipment and ductwork (if operational) to accurately determine the appropriate size and airflow for your new system. You might be surprised when a technician advises that your current system is oversized. In HVAC, “bigger” is definitely not always better.
A red flag during a new system installation is the need for multiple repair visits shortly after installation. Often, HVAC companies blame the equipment, overlooking building conditions that should have been assessed to determine the system’s suitability.
Price differences between companies are influenced by company size, years in business, and service quality.
Reputable companies invest in continuous employee training. You’ll notice their focus on helping customers, not just making a sale. Additional accessories, such as surge protectors, soft start or hard start kits, can extend the lifespan of your new system.
In essence, the cheapest or most expensive contractor doesn’t necessarily guarantee better quality. Ensure the technician doesn’t rush the assessment or drastically drop prices. A thorough home assessment is essential before installing a new system.
We can help you make the best decision for your home’s most significant investment: air conditioning. We’ll ensure all manufacturer requirements are met for your new system to provide years of reliable service.
It’s generally recommended to schedule an HVAC tune-up twice a year: once in the spring before the cooling season and once in the fall before the heating season. However, if you notice any signs of trouble, such as unusual noises, decreased performance, or higher energy bills, don’t wait—get your system checked immediately.
